I guess my cock just really appreciates a woman's vagina. For some reason, anal just doesn't stimulate my unit at all.

It's not the position that turns me off, since I love doggystyle. I guess it's the sensation of penetrating a woman's anus. Of course when I try it I go slowly, and use plenty of lube. But I just get nothing out of it, with any partner. I don't even contemplate it anymore. If a partner mentions it herself, I want to say it just isn't my thing.

But do you ever hear other straight dudes report a preference this strong? I can't say I've heard much about it myself. But it's definitely the way I am.

What do women think when they hear a guy say he's not interested in this act? Especially if they (the women) propose it themselves? How likely is it that I'd be the first guy they ever heard turning it down?

So if you witnessed a guy in your (hypothetical) personal life turn down the offer of anal due simply to personal preference, would you think, "That is totally understandable"? Or would you think: "Maybe this guy just isn't into sex in general"?

Yeah, I guess what I'm asking is, which is the better way for me to turn this down: "Not now," leaving open the possibility that maybe someday my preference might change; or "Not ever," saying that I'm pretty sure this isn't my thing? I imagine lots of Redditors have more insight or experience on this subject than I do.

I think you are worrying to much about how "normal" your preferences are in terms of other people's views. This probably isn't the healthiest way to go about it. You are what you are and you like what you like.

Assholes weren't made for sticking dicks into, so that's fine that your not interested in doing that. Vaginas are self lubricating, assholes are not.

If I were to put myself into the mind of some random asshole, I might call you gay for having anal sex with a girl when she has a perfectly useful vagina. I personally have no desire to stick my dick in a girls ass because of aforementioned perfectly engineered orifice.

...it's not about what hole you stick it in, it's about the trust that the lovers would share with that entire situation and the different sensation both partners get. OP doesn't get much from the different sensation- it's not for everyone. However, many people love anal for the difference in sensations, so to call someone gay for liking the back door is pretty crude and it doesn't seem like you're taking te whole situation into consideration.

My boyfriend absolutely adores fucking me doggystyle, but he has no interest in anal whatsoever. Anal and vaginal sex are two different things. Just because I love vanilla ice cream doesn't mean I want coffee flavored ice cream, or that it's weird that I don't.

I wasn't into the thought of it at all before I tried it. I would skip over videos that weren't PIV. The big turn off was not knowing why anyone would enjoy that. Then I tried it with my SO and discovered that she really really likes it. I wouldn't say that I find the thought of being in a rectum inherently enjoyable, but now I enjoy the thought simply because I know firsthand that women actually like it. Even my taste in videos has expanded.

I have a theoretical interest in trying anal, and I'm a big enthusiast of hot dogging (the arse cheeks version of titty fucking). But I know if I tried anal I wouldn't like it especially like it, even if in the heat of the moment it seems like a good idea. On the rare occasion I've come on my partners arse during hot dogging I get the worst post-ejaculatory regret. I know that would be even worse if I was sticking it up her behind.
